🐇 Easter brownies

These fudgy brownies are perfect for an Easter treat.

Made in a square brownie pan and topped with a drizzle of pretty Easter coloured icing and vegan mini eggs.

🍬 Vegan mini eggs

Yes, you can now buy vegan mini eggs! Whoopee!

The ones I bought are from a company called Doisy and Dam but there are other brands out there.

Good for munching as a snack, or for topping easter cakes.

Try adding them to vegan chocolate muffins, by chopping them roughly and adding them to the batter or decorating these vegan white chocolate and raspberry muffins or even add them to Easter chocolate tiffin.

💭 How do you make flax eggs?

Flax eggs are super easy to make and I will let you into a little secret.

Save money by making them with linseeds.

They are the same as flax seeds but much cheaper. Flax seed is just a trendy name for linseeds adopted by the clean eating brigade.

One flax egg replaces one hen's egg in a recipe.

To make flax eggs, grind the linseeds or flaxseeds in a food processor, a blender or a coffee/spice grinder.

In a bowl add 3 tablespoons of water to one tablespoon of ground flax meal.

Now pop it in the fridge for half an hour and go do something else. it will get all gloopy.

The perfect egg replacement.

💭 Can flax eggs be used in all vegan bakes?

Sadly no.

Flax eggs are better in richer bakes like gingerbread, fruit cake or brownies.

It doesn't work as well in lighter bakes like a sponge, fairy cake or muffin.

🥣 Coloured icing

The coloured icing drizzled across these luscious brownies is just made with icing sugar (confectioner's sugar), a little water and some colouring.

The secret to good icing is not to add too much water.

You might think you've not added enough but keep working with it and you will find you don't have to add more.

If you do add too much water, the icing will be runny and won't hold the colour. So you will need to add more icing sugar.

📋 What can I use instead of mini eggs?

Step 1

• Make flax eggs and pop them in the fridge (see full recipe below for notes).
• Preheat the oven and line a brownie tin.

Step 2

• Add demerara sugar to a mixing bowl, then add the flax eggs and whisk with a fork.
• Pour in the chocolate mix and vanilla.

Step 3

• Mix and then pour in the flour and salt, then fold in.
• Pour the brownie batter into the lined tin and bake.

Step 4

• Add the icing sugar to a bowl, add a little water and mix in, until you have a thick icing, then add some colouring and mix again.
• If you are using more than one colour icing, do the same for another colour.

Step 5

• Once the brownies are cool it's time to decorate.
• Choose your vegan sweeties to add as a decoration.
• Drizzle the icing on with a teaspoon, then add the sweeties. Press them into the brownies a little to hold them in place.
• Cut your brownies into 16 squares or more if you want smaller pieces.
• Serve and enjoy!
